    Debian In An Extend

    Most people using this Debian extend hack probably already know their way around. But just in case, I wanted to offer a few ideas that I've been toying with. Today I reflashed my Pandora because DeaDBeeF would run when I booted from SD, but not from NAND. Apparently I corrupted something on the...

    Making Titlebars And Window Decorations Bigger

    Certain app's do this on their own. Alt-F11 is probably one of the most used key-combinations on my Pandora these days: thinking about mapping it onto something easier like the Pandora button. Midori has a fair "fullscreen" mode. Terminal can be configured thusly. My favorite new discovery is...

    How To Set Timezone?

    Beautiful: that was exactly what I needed. The timezone packages swiped from the Debian partition didn't seem to work. But this worked right away. Thank you!

    Nothing exciting re: backups. I have a script (involving rsync) which I've used to make incremental backups to an external HD. I need to set up the same script (or similar) for the Pandora as I start keeping more information on it. When it comes down to it, I bought the Pandora to replace my...

    Deadbeef Won't Run

    Thanks for the direct link. Sadly, I'm getting the same results. What an odd problem. Is there some way to force the app (all wrapped up in a pnd as it is) to give me some debug output? Hmmm... I booted from a different image on an SD card and it runs fine. I hadn't thought I'd done anything to...

    Deadbeef Won't Run

    I got the pnd from the file archive yesterday, figuring that would be the latest amd greatest. This morning I re-ran the codec installer, just to make sure. Deadbeef still won't run, though. Am I the only person to experience this?

    Deadbeef Won't Run

    I tried finding and deleting all the appdata: both in my home directory and on the SD card. No joy. :(

    Debian In An Extend

    Stuckie-- It works! I don't know about the name mangling. But at first 1.0b wasn't working for me either. It turned out to be a permissions problem. My SD card is bootable (with the Pandora OS) and I wanted to put the swapfile in the root directory, away from my home which should start...

    How To Set Timezone?

    "Date and Time" is unresponsive for me. I click it, nothing happens. I tried to set it by hand (ln -s) but, as noted above, the "normal" place to link to a time zone (/usr/share/zoneinfo) is kinda' empty. I'm guessing what I need to do is pull the needed file (the timezone definition) off my...

    Deadbeef Won't Run

    Yes. Audacious, exaile and mplayer all work fine.

    Debian In An Extend

    The cp command is there, indeed. It may be that I didn't have to copy it on my most recent startup (using the premount script). I'll try to take note of that next time. I'm about to head out, but I'll grab a new copy of the extendutils when I can and give it another swing. Thank you for being...

    How To Set Timezone?

    My Pandora hung (at least... the CPU was maxed out for so long I got tired of waiting to try to kill the app gracefully). The power switch wouldn't help. So finally I dropped the battery. Everything booted up fine, but the clock was very wrong. So I did what any sane computer user would do: I...

    Debian In An Extend

    Stuckie, If you're still interested, I was calling it "swapfile.swap". Original, no? :-) I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me being silly. Looks like Gnu sed in Angstrom: same version as debian/sed (4.1.2). Try pinging google or somebody. If you can't resolve hostnames, try "cp...

    Debian In An Extend

    Yeah, I double-checked where I'd put the file and went looking for it in the terminal. But I still couldn't find it. Then I decided that maybe it didn't write since I didn't explicitly add the .swap extension, so I tried that too. No dice. I also checked to make sure I had sufficient space...

    Deadbeef Won't Run

    I've been using audacious: a little lighter and more stable than Exaile (Exaile being, btw, is my preferred music player on a desktop machine). But I hear good things about Deadbeef. Once upon a time I ran an early version of it. But this latest one, despite several downloads to ensure nothing...
